    So I got the 886s installed and the alignment done. I previously did the CMC and the front of the wheel well is gone because of the new bumper...

    For the first time since I've owned the truck, I was able to turn the wheel all the way to either side while backing up without rubbing! It actually caught me off guard when it hit a natural stopping point instead of a rubbing point.

    It's the small things in life.

    I'm also debating burning some bitcoin to go buy a winch before Jambo... my main hang up is whether I'll have to time to install it between now and then, and I think the answer is no :(

    I suggest getting the new ball joints for those control arms, they're greasable, and keep those as spares for oh shit moments. Also probably wouldn't hurt to replace those bushings while they're off the truck as well unless they're brand spankin new. Good find by the way. Hope you got a killer deal.

    I could get it at lunch today.

    I'm debating this... I got a nice birthday gift from the in-laws and have some extra bitcoin saved up, could use it to get myself a nice winch. (Smittybilt 10k synthetic w/ wireless remote)

    Those smittybilts are nice. You'll need metric Allen wrench set for the control box, forgot exact size. Stretch that rope before you use it so you don't get any breaks.

    If I do the Jambo install, I'll have my impact wrench and full tool set with me. Won't be too hard to drop the bumper, install it, and get the bumper back up there. Except for how heavy it'll be with the extra 50 lbs :p

    It's not the ability to do it, it's the time. I'm on daddy duty in the PMs, and I think I'm solo with Griffin both tonight and Wednesday... and I still have to pack and hit up HEB for beer/food/etc.
